Topic: Plasma vs LCD ?

[thefeeder]

for fun:

For those who believe in Fung Shui:

Most Fung Shui books state that you must avoid reflective surfaces like mirrors and TV's in your bedroom (facing the bed), or it disrupts the harmony between you & your spouse.

Plasma TV's have reflective surfaces. LCD's non reflective surface is the loophole 

So if you are always fighting with your spouse, maybe its time to switch to LCD, hehehe. 

P.S. I seldom fight with my spouse! Must be the LCD or my favourite saying "Yes dear!"  .

Lolz, great reply.

Confucius say: Harmony with spouse for the next 20 years is better than 2 hours of great PQ a day...

MATZtER say: Dont forget to say: "YES DEAR". 

and... once that TV is in your house, with no other TV beside it to compare to like in the shops, its the most beautiful TV ever.

Right?

When were most Fung Shui books written?  Before the TV was invented?

Na-reminisce ko tuloy yung mga mirrors sa ceiling ng motel.   If anything, it disrupted my attention quite often  

One thing I'm starting to feel as I age is that having a TV in the bedroom is not in harmony with a restful night.

ika nga nila " A happy wife , is a happy life" Better talaga na NO tv sa bedroom

So if you are always fighting with your spouse, maybe its time to switch to LCD, hehehe. 

Thats why I have 2 lcds, Double the love, double the satisfaction

Hi guys,

tanong ko lang ang viewing angle, i notice that smaller LCD kapag you tried to view from below, medyo madilim na.. is this an indicator that you have a poor panel?

The term "poor" is rather drastic and needs to be qualified, pero ganon na nga ang indication.   LCDs with "narrow" viewing angle horizontally and vertically (usually 160 degrees) are the cheapest LCD technologies available at the moment. But they are quite good for gaming due to fast response times.  Highest quality and most expensive LCDs used for high end PC monitors and good quality HDTVs have maximum viewing angle of 178 degrees from all orientations.

yep those from dell and hp to be specific 
but then again those computer monitors are really for pc use and not built for ht .. you cant expect too much from them .. by the way they are at best when it comes to viewing docs etc.

LOL. I think that this is pretty much a universal statement to all of us here who are married. Icing na lang on the cake if you and your spouse share the same passion for HT, audio or video. So kung strategy ang hanap nyo mga singles dyan, look for a gf who has the same passion.  This way, meron ka ng SARS vaccine to begin with.  If you do end up putting a tv in your bedroom, try to make sure na walang cable, antenna lang. And no other video source/s.

I just visited an appliance store at Galleria yesterday while my wife is shopping...ganun talaga. If you leave it to the sales guy, LCD is what they will promote. At first I acted like it is my first time to see a flat panel up close. hehehe. If I were just a "typical consumer" wanting to upgrade to hi-def and I will base my choice from these statements, what do you think will be my final choice?
( First of all, the LCD's on display outnumber plasmas 10:1 )

1) Konti na lang ang plasma now Sir. LCD na ang bago.
2) Mas maganda talaga ang color ng LCD.
3) 720 lang yang plasma Sir. 1080 na ung LCD.
4) Mas madaming bumibili ng LCD Sir.
5) Mas friendly sa environment ang LCD Sir.
6) Mas mataas ang resolution ng LCD Sir.

After around 15 minutes of letting the sales guy talk about the LCD, I mentioned to him that I am already an owner of a 46W300 Bravia. So, I ended up looking at the 42pv8. His reply: "Maganda din yan Sir, yung black nya mas ok sa LCD" and "mas ok daw yan kung sa madilim na room mo gagamitin".

Well, as the story goes, I'm sure this is a normal scenario at the store. And very dependent on the information that you'll get from the sales personnel who is on duty.

IMO, if you are hunting for a flat display panel, as stated here numerous times: Take your time and don't buy on impulse, determine your primary application, audition your two or three choices, know the pros and cons of your final choice, then make the purchase and "live with the cons of your final choice"..and "be happy with the pros of your final choice" at the same time.

If you can't decide what pros to enjoy and what cons to live with, save up and buy both technology.
Might as well include a PJ on your plan coz this is also a great choice.

Pag ako nainis at nagsawa sa pagpili, I might just end up doing this. 

[unintentinal]

wow buybust ..
talk about "urong sulong" ..
but you cant blame these people .. one way or another .. they have to sell ..

ika nga ni blondie eh ..
One way or another, I'm gonna find ya'
I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya'
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya'
I'm gonna get ya', get ya' ,get ya', get ya'

Napakanta ako ah.
Yup. Not blaming sales personnel at all. Ganun talaga. Whatever information they are fed with by marketing guys, sales management and other customers, including their own experiences will be the norm deciding factor/s for a typical consumer. That's why, IMO, our second best bet, that is if you can't decide what technology to purchase is to "trust" the recommendations of the experienced majority here at pdvd. Sabi nga, follow the footsteps of those who are successful in what they do. Check out their HT galleries and the contents of their contributions to the different threads. The worst case is, you will experience the same "cons" and enjoy the same "pros" the more experienced members are having or had with their choices. That's not so bad.

Plasma TV on the rebound?
Posted by Erica Ogg




DisplaySearch is reporting that shipments of plasma worldwide increased 52 percent from the same quarter a year ago, or 3.4 million units. That's way behind LCD TV shipments, but it's encouraging for a technology that many of the biggest vendors had basically left for dead.

Plasma shipments are on the rise everywhere, but they are particularly healthy in China, where they rose 285 percent in the last year.

1.  The LCD image tends to look sharper, cleaner, showing finer details.
2.  In general and unless you buy 50V or bigger panels or full HD panels, LCDs have higher native resolution than plasmas.
3.  The image is brighter, allowing you to do computing ang gaming under any lighting conditions.
4.  The panels are usually non-glare.
5.  Gaming monitors are usually smaller than HDTV and plasmas are not available below 32 inch. 
6.  Color accuracy is not at all critical with gaming and gamers would normally sit right in front of monitors.
7.  LCDs optimized for gaming can be manufactured using the cheapest LCD tech.
8.  LCDs are cooler.  How would you like to stick your face close to a space heater?

bro, hope your friend can share sample photoshots :-)

plasma pa din!

LOL, the house project I told you will push through, so when the time comes, out goes the 32 hitachi indeed!

And of course, I will buy another TV from you, but LCD pa rin! hehehe 

[bachwitz]

I vote for plasma.  And I believe plasma is the closest to HD-CRTs PQ (which is my gauge). I have also tried watching 40'' LCD and Pany PV7 side by side, and I like the PQ of plasma better specially the skin tone.

Plasma all the way

Power consumption nga lang ang problem hehe

[Clondalkin]

Yeah, I appreciate that skin tones look better on a plasma because of the warmer colors.  But haven't you noticed that TV personalities and movie stars look soooooooooooo much whiter in person than on TV.  Pati si Bayani Agbayani mamula mula complexion sa personal ne.   So which TV tech is closest to real skin tone then?
